How early in the boot process?

Well for recent kernels, the readme states:

8) EXE names will now also be displayed in alt-f2/alt-f3 processing
(note
that CMD file names, e.g. MPTSTART, will NOT be displayed, only
cmd.exe)
9) alt-f4 is like alt-f2 plus it pauses after displaying each names
(does
not pause after BASEDEV= or PSD=) and, by pressing F1, allows you
to
skip loading/running the file displayed. Alt-f5 is like
alt-f4+alt-f1.

The automatic recovery choices screen is controlled by:

RMB Desktop -> Properties -> Archive

The file

\altf2on.$$$

forces automatic F2 operation.

No utility that I know off. It's a kernel option. See above.

You might be thinking of pause.sys, but that's not very flexible.
